916. Narrated Az-Zuhrī: I heard Aṣ-Ṣā'ib bin Yazīd رضي الله عنه saying, "In the lifetime of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ, and Abū Bakr and 'Umar رضي الله عنهما, the Adhān for the Jumu'ah prayer used to be pronounced after the Imām had taken his seat on the pulpit. But when the people increased in number during the caliphate of 'Uthmān رضي الله عنه, he introduced a third Adhān on Friday for the (Jumu'ah prayer) and it was pronounced at Az-Zaurā' and that new state of affairs remained stable and firm (in the succeeding years).

916 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُقَاتِلٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ السَّائِبَ بْنَ يَزِيدَ، يَقُولُ: «إِنَّ الأَذَانَ يَوْمَ الجُمُعَةِ كَانَ أَوَّلُهُ حِينَ يَجْلِسُ الإِمَامُ، يَوْمَ الجُمُعَةِ عَلَى المِنْبَرِ فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَأَبِي بَكْرٍ، وَعُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا، فَلَمَّا كَانَ فِي خِلاَفَةِ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، وَكَثُرُوا، أَمَرَ عُثْمَانُ يَوْمَ الجُمُعَةِ بِالأَذَانِ الثَّالِثِ، فَأُذِّنَ بِهِ عَلَى الزَّوْرَاءِ، فَثَبَتَ الأَمْرُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ»
